Mrs. Julian Heath (Jennie Dewey Heath, ) (1863 - November 18, 1932) founded the National Housewives League in 1911, and served as its president until her death in 1932.
In 1924 she began regularly appearing on the WJZ radio station in New York, talking about home economics. She was on-air five days a week for several years.
